Key Findings

Three clusters of Legionnaires' disease cases were suspected based on mandatory reports received by the Regional Health Agencies (ARS) in the two regions: two cases from the same family in Franche-Comté and two clusters (one in Burgundy, one in Franche-Comté) involving two cases living a few kilometers apart. Case interviews using a standardized questionnaire (which identifies places visited) and water samples taken from the suspected facilities have already ruled out the possibility of a common source of Legionella exposure for two of these outbreaks.
